Big Brother: Jordan Lloyd is not good under pressure

Bookmark and Share

That was our girl's excuse for her dismal performance during the POV contest.

Donned in space suits, the houseguests had to identify six merged faces of two houseguests in the shortest time possible to win POV and a Visio home entertainment system.

In the end, Jordan came in dead last, finishing in 5 minutes and 9 seconds.

Jeff didn't do so hot either at 3:01, but he's carried Jordan all along and in his time of need, she wanted to make him proud.

Alas, Michele with 1:52 crushed the competition, setting in motion two sad things: Jordan being put up for eviction with Jeff, and Jordan vowing to throw herself under the bus so Jeff could stay.

Overdue moment of clarity: Kevin gets a surprise in his HOH room. There's a secret room that contains a Pandora's Box that can release good or evil. A clue says that $10,000 will be released if he sticks his hand in the box. Admitting his greed, Kevin sticks his hand in and his hand is promptly locked in the box. Meanwhile, by the pool, it starts raining money. The others scramble for it, stuffing it, as Jeff says, in tight places. Kevin calls for help and tells Natalie he needs a key to get loose. Natalie says OK, then goes downstairs for more money grubbing. This leads Kevin to the realization that it's every man for himself in this game!

In the end, Jeff gets the key and helps unlock Kevin. Kevin ends up with a mere $600 of the $10,000 but the insight he gets is priceless.

Mirror, mirror: During the POV contest, most of the houseguests miss the merged faces that include their own.

Somebody slap her: After Michele wins the POV, Natalie talks with Kevin about ousting Michele next week, because the 'bitch is strong.' Natalie promises to fight 100 percent to win the HOH. It's hard to tell if that means she hasn't tried 100 percent yet or that in the face of a near two-month long string of loses, she's struggling to hold on to her swagger. Either way, Kevin isn't buying it; her positive affirmations are empty.

Jeffy's choice: Michele comes to Jeff, saying she is willing to fight to keep him in the house. She thinks that she needs Jeff to be strong at the end of the game, basically to oust Natalie. Jeff wants to stay, but he won't do a Russell and campaign. Michele suggests he make a deal to oust Jordan. Jeff asks Michele to feel Kevin out.

Jordan feels bad and cries (ugly) about how she wouldn't have made it this far without Jeff. She encourages Jeff to campaign to stay and says she doesn't care if he throws her under the bus. Jeff says he wouldn't do that. Jordan says she won't campaign for herself. Jeff says she's a good person. Others might say she's lost focus.

Michele tells Kevin that Natalie will try to get rid of him and he should oust Jordan and keep Jeff, so Jeff and Michele can go after Natalie. Kevin says the proposal makes sense.

End of an era: At the POV ceremony, Michele uses it on herself and Kevin puts our girl Jordan up for eviction against Jeff. Michele promises to get Kevin next week. Jeff wants him too.
